| Summary/Abstract |
China’s growth story and its cascading effects on world economy and more importantly the power shift has been a subject of serious study not only in the academic world but also among the strategic community. The exponential economic growth and expanding sphere of influence of China in the region, India’s extended neighbourhood and in the decision making bodies of the world is increasingly being seen as a challenge to the preeminent position of the US in the global power structure. The shift in China’s economic growth pattern post US economic crisis and its rising strategic influence since the end of Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union can be interpreted as watershed moments in the changing dynamics of world order.

| Summary/Abstract |
China-Pakistan has been old friends but China-India has been old rivals due to their many unresolved issues in general but the border issue in particular. China-Pakistan has no border issues. Accordingly, China-Pakistan agrees on the project of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which is a framework for regional connectivity and economic cooperation. India did not join the CPEC on the ground that it passes through territory which is dispute between India-Pakistan viz Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

| Summary/Abstract |
India-China relationship is more fragile as it lacked in seriousness to resolve the important bilateral issues specifically the border which also links Nepal and Bhutan. China’s prevarications created space for confrontation and competition .Obviously the choice for India was to maintain a balanced relationship with big powers as well as China but this policy hit the road bumps of border crisis in Eastern Ladakh in 2019. .Chinese troops have been deployed across the Line of Actual Control (LoAC) including Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Doklam Plateau in Bhutan compelling India to reciprocate by military preparedness at a very heavy cost.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Bhutan enjoy an inimitable and distinct relationship, which has been paved by ties of topography, antiquity and ethos. The old relationship between two countries is also entrenched with optimistic recollections. The basic framework of India- Bhutan bilateral relations which celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2018, was the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation signed in 1949 and revised in February 2007. Bhutan’s implication to India shoots from its topographical location. India has robust armed and fiscal bonds with Bhutan. The age-old historical relationship between the two countries is off late facing some intrinsic challenges. Being neighbours, it is necessary that both nations continuously recognise value of each other and put united front against China and free border from terrorist activities. The high-level visits from both the sides and MoU to enable exchange of skills, technical knowledge, green energy, space technology are pertinent for everlasting friendship.

| Summary/Abstract |
Kishore Mahbubani (2018) in his book “Has the west lost it?” A Provocation categorically puts forth the thesis that the dominance of the West led by the USA is going to come to an end and China is going to rise to the occasion to become the next superpower of the world. Although this thesis has been rejected by some important thinkers in the domain of International relations like John Mearsheimer nevertheless a thorough observation of the way international politics unfolds presents a clear picture that China is going to play a role that the USA had been playing over the past few decades.

| Summary/Abstract |
Landlocked Nepal hemmed by India and China has maintained cordial relations with its both immediate neighbors. Since the political transformation of Nepal in 2006 the Sino-Nepalese relations have significantly increased. Although the Sino-Nepalese relations are developing rapidly but the geographical handicap of Nepal has made it dependent on India. Post-2006 China has been successful in reducing Nepal’s reliance on India thus impeding intimate Indo-Nepal relations. This has changed the fundamental nature (special relations) between India and Nepal. The paper is an attempt to highlight growing Sino-Nepalese relations and its impact on India. Apart from this, the paper will examine the chances of trilateral cooperation and India’s views on it.

| Summary/Abstract |
Nepal was the first Country among India’s South neighbours which played China Card against India in early 1960s when it not only settled the boundary dispute with China but also signed the peace and friendship treaty and went for Chinese assistance in building road network between the two countries. After that, Nepal has never looked back or restrained from playing China card. After Sikkim’s accession to India in 1975, Nepal became over concerned with security threats from India and leaned heavily towards China in 1980s which included, among other things, the purchase of defence items from China. In 1990s, China merged an important arms supplier to Nepal to address the challenges posed by Maoist insurgency.

| Summary/Abstract |
Power in International Relations (IR) is defined in relational terms, as the ability of actor A to influence the behavior of actor B to get the outcome he wants. (Blarel 2012). We can say there is no absolute power. The traditional focus of military and economic powers has undergone a change. However, some other intangible aspects have also been given importance by many strategic thinkers and foreign policy experts even in the past. The term Soft Power was first used and developed by the eminent neo-liberal scholar Joseph S. Nye Jr. His book “Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power” (Nye 2012: XI) has discussed that. He identified three dimensions of power; coercion by military force, influence by offering economic incentives and finally the ability to co-opt other states by the nation’s appeal based on its culture and values (Nye 2012: 2).
